Ole Schemion, winner of the Partouche Poker Tour, just managed to grab the chip lead.

Ole Schemion: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Walid Bou Habib: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Habib was knocked out.

Kitai Releases Big Draw on Paired Board

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Davidi Kitai released a straight and flush draw in a hand versus Johnny Lodden for fear he was already drawing dead.

Around 22,000 had made it into the middle by the turn of an {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board. Both players were in mid position and Kitai check-raised Lodden's 10,800 bet up to 22,000. The Team PokerStars Pro responded by moving all in, putting Kitai to the test for his remaining 38,000.

"I have such a big draw! But I might already be dead." said Kitai.

"Jack-ten of hearts?" asked Lodden.

Kitai nodded and then open mucked {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} after 30 more seconds of thought. Lodden was kind and opened {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs} before raking in the chips.
